I have felt the warmth of the sun and cold of the night
And now I've completed my circle of life.
No regrets and no fears
And therefore no tears.
For my path is clear, and the road is straight
No more sorrow for this is my fate
As I have touched your hearts, you have touched mine
And into the light all our love will shine.
For I've worked and felt the
Hardships of life, but I have known life
For I have known love.
